Set atop a rocky headland that juts out into the Indian ocean, this luxurious hotel was Sri Lanka's first boutique hotel, only a couple of hours away from the capital city of Colombo. Aqua waves that burst into a surf at the edge of glistening, golden shorelines bestow an unrivaled serenity to this secluded paradise. Venture down to the beach for a casual swim, try your hand at the array of watersports offered and catch breathtaking sunsets by the beach. The tranquility of the scene and setting makes for a romantic atmosphere, perfect for couples looking for some alone time.
